Classic Songs and interesting cover versions

**Daves** · 25th January 2012 03:52 PM

I thought this might be an interesting approach to remembering the classics. A bit like Andrew Denton's The Money or the Gun;

Here is an interesting cover of an all time classic;

A clip of the original version by Nina Simone

And my favorite version;

The original the best with this one... didn't know that murray the red wiggle played guitar with the animals!!

Another Animals hit.

Firstly the original recording, barely recognisable as the same song;

The Animals version;

And a rare and very whimsical version by the Beatles from The Black Album;

Love Hurts by the Everly Brothers ...

The Nazareth version that I remember from the 70's ...

And recently from Czech Idol ...

Johnny Cash - Hurt. Best cover ever.

Didn't mind his version of Soundgarden's Rusty Cage either.

Metallica nailed plenty on Garage Inc. Turn the Page the pick for me.

These are not actually the same song, but all classics and the first two by Neil Young get a blatant mention in the 3rd;

This is a good cover

I've given you 12 months to work it out yourself. The reason you're struggling with it is obvious-you're short an X!

Here's three quite different versions of the one song.

I think the Dylan version is one of his best, but seems to be someone else's cover on that link?

It has featured in several movies apparently, the one I was thinking of was Forrest Gump.

Sorry, i didn't proof listen to Bob's version. I like Hendrix's version, it was rated inside the top 50 for Rolling Stone mags top 500 songs. Dylan's comments on the version are required reading

Dylan has described his reaction to hearing Hendrix's version: "It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent, he could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn't think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day."In the booklet accompanying his Biograph album, Dylan said: "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way... Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
